Hazard light bulb
It appears the bulb has failed in my hazard switch. The power lead snapped recently which I repaired, but now it seems the bulb has gone. The switch does not light up with the headlights on, nor flashes when pushed.
I can only see one tiny build that pops out when I turn it, is this the only light? And where can I source a replacement? Could anything else make it not work? I can see no damage to the wiring. The switches are stupidly expensive to replace. 2011 110 USW

It's possible to dismantle the switch and fit a new bulb, Iused a "Scalextric" bulb sourced from Ebay... Only because I couldn't at the time find "grain of wheat" bulbs used in model railways.... It's a fiddly job if i remember but doable with care, good luck 🤞

I tried searching but the eBay links were all old and no longer worked. I think I need stc1205? 2011 110 USW

If seems to come apart easily enough, I just the replacement bulb. 2011 110 USW

Luckily you won’t get ripped off on EBay then. The price is bad enough without the markup eBay sellers add.

STC1205 is the correct part  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Does anyone know the bulb type for these? Am I correct in assuming that they are the same 1.2w capless type the same as behind the centre dash?

I think mine has gone in the hazard switch …

The PN above isn’t available from some places and includes the holder, I’d have thought just changing the bulb would be fine to do?

It seems from the pics that it’s just the standard bulb, unlike the clock that has a coloured cover / screen as well which is more annoying to deal with. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

I now wish I took a pic when I had mine out. I ordered what I thought was a replacement bulb but said bulbs were too large/long to fit and the bulb in the holder is oh so tiny.

These bulbs are also used in model trains and cars, as mentioned further up. Land Rover parts websites sell them but at a hefty price for a small bulb.

I did clean the contact points on mine thinking maybe it wasn't the bulb but then the other day I happened to tap the hazard switch and it lit up!

Good luck

286 1.2w capless type, often made by Lucas but there is Genuine as well, which is likely the former anyway.

As far as I’m aware that’s the size the centre dash takes, I do know they are 1.2w for sure. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

I bought those bulbs and when I had the Hazard bulb holder out, I could not for the life of me see how they would fit. Perhaps I should give prizing the bulb a go and see.

Please report back if you give this a go yourself Smile

The bulb should pull out like the others do, they are a push fit but equally it’s so thing you have got to be careful of is to not break the bulb.
A drinking straw may fit, but some pliers with electrical tape on the bulb may work too but you’d need to be careful to only grip it lightly* or the bulb will break.

Tomorrow I’ll see if I can get the bulb out and have a look. Thumbs Up ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

This is mad, I came on here to ask about the bulb also, but we have an electronic repair facility on site where I work and they had them in stock.

Radionics sell them and the code is 655-9198
